Interpreting health

Thursday, April 11, 2013 Unknown No comments

Last year, MaryAnn Black, one of the participants of Durham Dreams, invited me to be a graphic (visual recorder for the annual Durham Health Summit with approximately 600 in attendance.

Translating dozens of ideas on ways to create health in Durham filled six flip charts! (Doodling for a whole day is my idea of a fun! ) The Summit concluded with my next assignment intact. I was commissioned to "interpret the jest of the conference" into a piece of fine art which could be publicly displayed.

Graphic Recording during the 11th Annual Duke Health Summit

This was quite a challenge!

Syncing the multitude of topics discussed at the Summit into a cohesive and "readable" painting took someincubating! After pages of sketchbook entries, the final succinct concept was this:

Express a happy, healthy community benefiting from the monumental contributions of Duke University Health System.

The visual translation was to be doctors, nurses and patients joyously celebrating health. My goal was to convey this simple message: health enables possibilites.

The Summit's theme, "Weaving Durham’s Tapestries, Moving the Needle on Health" was to be portrayed by placing the happy, raucous group delightedly jumping on a parchwork "Duke Blue quilt (complete with Duke logos, of course!)

Here are a few pics of the development of the painting. I'm almost finished....I'll add face detail, shadows, highlights along with quilt logos. The blue I've used here is just the "under painting". I will, of course, add the mandatory Duke blue!!!!

As I complete facial features, great consideration will be given to represent the wide variety of ethnicities to reflect Durham's diverse population.

Stay tuned. I'll share more photos soon. I expect to be completed with the painting within a week!

The Big Idea

Graphic Recording at the 11th Annual Duke Health Summit

I love working in a large format. Actually, I crave it. I confess a secret obsession with longing to fill large blank walls with color.

Faced with the challenge of interpreting the spirit of last year's Health Summit, I instinctively turned to LARGE as the chosen vehicle.

Beginning underpainting

Working on figures

I've decided to call the finished piece, "Joyful Health." It's quite a colorful composition depicting a community's relational response to a successful health care system. Doctors, nurses, health practitioners and patients literally jump for joy. It's intended to be a celebration of health. The work dances with color and line and commands a presence, filling an 8' x 4' framework.

In synthesizing the topic of the 2012 Summitt, "Weaving Durham’s Tapestries, Moving the Needle on Health." The painting captures a moment in time in which the objectives of improving the health of our community have been reached!

Symbolically incorporating the analogy of weaving together efforts that are aimed at the common causes of illness in our community, I've depicted a woven quilt on which health care providers and patients joyfully frolic. The patchwork quilt serves a dual visual purpose. It not only represents cooperative efforts, but also warmth, security and comfort.

The completed piece will be making a 'guest appearance" at the 12th Annual Duke/Durham Health Summit.

that's coming up in just a few days! It's been such an honor...and adventure to create this commission.
